HTTPS
To make Blocks serve your content over HTTPS you have to add a certificate for your domain and configure Blocks to use it. Follow the steps below:
- Place the certificate, ending with .p12, in your PIXILAB-Blocks-root folder (located in the home directory of the user account under which you run the server).
- Open your Blocks server configuration file.
- Under server.applicationConnectors, make sure the following properties exists under https:
server: type: pixilab_server applicationConnectors: - type: http ... - type: https port: 9443 keyStorePath: "/home/pixi-server/cert.p12" keyStoreType: "PKCS12" keyStorePassword: "..."
- keyStorePath is the path to the key store which contains the host certificate and private key.
- keyStoreType is the type of the key store used in the certificate, in our case "PKCS12".
- keyStorePassword is the password used to access the key store.
